Where do we contribute with SLM without competing?
Where are the opportunities for us to explore?
Feedback from the particpants on the questions raised:
On the naming different suggestions and ideas:
Natural resource management (independent national platform)
Environment should be included to address health issues
Naming is not an issue as we will be judged by our outcomes. We need to think about outcomes. NBDC is left only with 18 months
On contributions to SLM:
SLM ‘s objective to improve the productivity of land and align the land mgt. efforts in a harmonized way so that all partners work towards the improvement of the land. Communal land mgt. small scale irrigation, etc. lots of activities. NRM is also done by SLM.
SLM has its own platform (from federal level to Kebelle). The same platform is organized at all levels. Maybe this platform can assist sideways. (Technical committee).
It depends on the mandate of the platform (if it is for advocacy), the govt. is against too many initiatives. MoA has different pillars and this platform can fit into this
We should switch from SLM
SLM works in 177 areas chosen by the government. Is this platform going to be limited to this selected areas.
Next step:
Proceeding will be produced
How do we sustain our platform (survive and have its own facilitators full time) to consider it seriously.
Simon to communicate with participants the next meetings.
